About hc-5

Information about the hc-5 data set.

Summary.

The CRCNS.org hc-5 data set contains recordings made using a silicon probe from three areas from a single rat that was performing different behavioral tasks. The three regions recorded from are left and right hippocampal CA1 and right entorhinal cortex. The tasks are a left/right alternate selection task, wheel running, and platform exploration. The neural data was recorded on 125 channels. Included in the data set are the following items:

Weveforms of putative spikes extracted from original raw broadband data

Format of the data.

The format of the data is the same as for the hc-2 and hc-3 data sets (see links to documentation files at bottom of page). In addition, most sessions contain a MATLAB file that has much of the data in a format that is easy to wok with in MATLAB. Details of the data format are provided in documents listed at the bottom of this page.
